After recent development, Chelsea will be going all out to sign £12m Newcastle player this month
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!In a strategic maneuver that could potentially irk their former manager Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea finds themselves presented with a tantalizing opportunity to secure the services of Kieran Trippier before the transfer window draws to a close.
Reports emanating from Sky Germany suggest that Newcastle United is open to parting ways with Trippier for a modest £12 million fee, with the added allure of interest from German giants Bayern Munich. Chelsea, grappling with persistent issues in both full-back positions throughout the season, should seriously contemplate throwing their hat into the ring for Trippier’s signature.
The current predicament at Stamford Bridge sees Reece James and Marc Cucurella sidelined, further exacerbated by the recent loan departure of Ian Maatsen to Borussia Dortmund. Trippier, with his versatility to operate at both right-back and left-back, emerges as a viable solution to plug the voids left by the absentees.
At a price tag of £12 million, the seasoned England international could represent a shrewd bargain for Chelsea, offering a wealth of Premier League experience to bolster their defensive ranks.
However, pragmatic hurdles loom large on the path to securing Trippier’s services. The 33-year-old defender, formerly of Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur, stands in stark contrast to Chelsea’s recent penchant for acquiring younger talents. The age factor, coupled with Bayern Munich’s evident interest, casts a shadow of doubt over the feasibility of a Chelsea-Trippier union.
Bayern’s elevated status, still contending in the Champions League and vying for Bundesliga glory, positions them favorably in the race for Trippier’s signature. The specter of Mauricio Pochettino attempting to sway his former protege away from the allure of the German giants adds another layer of complexity to the narrative.
In light of these considerations, the prospect of Chelsea securing Trippier remains somewhat improbable. Yet, if the stars align and the Three Lions star graces Stamford Bridge before the transfer window slams shut, it could be heralded as a masterstroke in the realms of astute business for the Blues.
